In stores, warehouses Costco and Sam's Club more and more than other retailers: the size of goods, shelves and even shopping carts.

These stores know how to make people spend money. Edition Money Talks News collected a list of six basic tricks of such retail chains.

Squad

Concrete floors, beams on the ceiling, simple metal racks on which the goods are laid.

This spartan appearance should make the buyer sure that in this store he will receive a favorable price for all goods, since the distribution network does not spend money on decor and carpeting.

As a rule, this is true. However, this does not apply to all products in the network, so before making a purchase, it is worth comparing prices with similar offers in other stores.

Remember, too, that low prices entice people to buy more, and often something that we absolutely do not need.

Remember that in fact you pay more than the price of the goods

One of the reasons why prices are lower in warehouse stores is because buyers must pay for membership in this network each year in order to be able to shop there.

Often, the membership fee pays off, but sometimes, given discounts and coupons, shopping in a regular store is more profitable.

However, if you don't want to bother with coupons, then warehouse stores are a better option.

Do not buy food that you can not eat

Large packaging is a hallmark of warehouse stores, and food tends to deteriorate. Therefore, no matter how tasty this or that product looks, buy it only if you are sure that you or your family can actually eat it before it spoils. If you throw away the purchased food, then you do not save money.

Beware of psychological tricks leading to unnecessary shopping.

Fear of missing a deal is the engine of many irrational purchases. Understanding that the assortment of the store is constantly changing, and discounts are also temporary, leads to the fact that people often buy what they really do not need.

Another effect can be called “what if someone likes it”, it is that when you see something completely unnecessary to you, you assume that your friend, mother, brother or in the end the thing is so cute that you yourself are delighted with it and have already figured out how you can use it.

If you see something that was not in your plans when you went to the store, do not buy it.

Do not be distructed

As soon as you entered the store, act quickly and go to the department you need. Do not be distracted by bright, brilliant big-screen TVs, smart phones or other beautiful gadgets at the entrance.

Sometimes one attractive product and a price tag with a discount can be enough to convince you to buy a product. In addition, such purchases should be done, after comparing the prices of similar goods with the offers of other stores.

Be thoughtful buyer

This tip applies to all stores, not just warehouse networks. Before shopping, make a list and follow it; compare unit prices to make sure you get the best deal; and take Carry cash with you instead of a bank card - people treat it more carefully and economically.

And remember the difference between “want” and “need.” There's no doubt that the next generation of smartphones or big-screen TVs can improve your life, but it shouldn't come at the expense of cutting into your daily budget.
